Fall is the perfect time for remodeling the swimming pool as it may not be in frequent use. At around the same time, the pool may have to be frequently cleaned especially if there are shedding trees around. One might as well engage in pool renovations before the cold of winter sets in. The target is to end up with an eye-catching pool design that is one of a kind.
There are several designs that have become popular for pool remodeling. They give an unforgettable edge to the house pool whether it is indoors or outdoors. The design should not only be trendy but should fit in with the surroundings. You can still mix the tried and tested designs with ideas of your own.
One design that never fails is the infinity pool style. It requires a landscape in the background. Even a small pool seems immense when it has a negative edge. The water drains off the shallow pool edge so slowly that it is imperceptible. The illusion of infinity is created drawing the eye closer to the landscape in the backdrop.
The vision of an infinity pool also works well with the ocean in the background on beach property. In the city, a penthouse can also have an infinity pool that ends at a window with a view. All that is required is that the apartment floor has a panoramic view.
Fountains are another way to give your pool a nice touch. There are many types of fountains depending on the size of the pool. There are rustic ones which fit in a garden setting while others are state-of-the-art to produce a contemporary appeal. Large waterfalls can be integrated in the design providing nooks and cronies where groups and couples can sit.
Special fountain types involve different themes according to the taste of the owner. The use of fire and other tricks add to the mystery of the pool remodeling exercise. There are fountain styles of all shapes and sizes. Some have small openings to stream smooth jets of water while others use the water’s meniscus to create bubble-like patterns.
Pool remodeling does not only serve aesthetic purposes, it can also have acoustic functions. Running water from a fountain replaces silence with a pleasant sound of trickling water. In larger waterfalls, the sound is useful as sound proofing to mask constant noises in the neighborhood that are not so elegant. In situations where calmness is required, a noiseless fountain is made part of the pool renovations.
